Just started a display and introduced fish into display after tank transfer method, but still powder blue tang carried the ich into display. (I might have lacked proper sanitation during the tank transfers).
So now I Pulled all the fish out of display. I really don't care about killing the biological filtration in my tank now (will re-establish it again).
here are my options:
- rise the temprature to 45 C and hold it for a day? I have a strong 1500 watt bucket heater and with neptune apex controller I can do this.
- Or I can drain the tank and throw away the saltwater and put RODI in it and leave it for a month? Will this kill ich cysts?
I can wait for a month but not 2 or 3 months and leave the display fishless for that long. we ourselves live only for 70 to 80 yrs if we are lucky and waiting quarter of a yr seems crazy to me. Also, I don't have anything in my tank now so I can do whatever I want to kill the ich cysts right?
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
